Suppose that Sue and Bill each make a confidence interval out of the same data set, but Sue wants a confidence level of 80 percent compared to Bill’s 90 percent. How do their margins of error compare?
Suppose that you conduct a study twice, and the second time you use four times as many people as you did the first time. How does the change affect your margin of error? (Assume the other components remain constant.)
Out of a sample of 200 babysitters, 70 percent are girls, and 30 percent are guys.
What’s the margin of error for the percentage of female babysitters? Assume 95 percent confidence.What’s the margin of error for the percentage of male babysitters? Assume 95 percent confidence.

- According to an economist from a financial company, the average expenditures on "furniture and household appliances" have been lower for households in the Montreal area than those in the Quebec region. A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally.
